But there is something weird about the way this story is written. Broad daylight. Dentist. The apple-rich township. What was everybody wearing and how old were they? Those are the only things left out.

Well then I did not think of that - that is a good reason to make fun of someone being tortured to death.

It may be that you have gotten used to the bland and colorless prose used by most reporters or enforced by the editors.

This guy and newspaper don't mince words. The syntax and phrasing seem to harken to a earlier era, perhaps the result of an English style education or, the writer is translated from Kashmiri, or a combination of both.

If this same event was described in one of the wider circulation Indian newspapers, most of those details are left out.

I don't mention most of the western press, since they routinely ignore these little "incidents" far, far away.

--A local dentist was found dead in a Kashmir village, allegedly killed by militants according to local police authorities, fighting against the Indian occupation.

Better?
